He found football relaxing and liked the attention he got in the school for being the best player on the team.

It seems that Odell has sports in his blood: his father , also named Odell (but senior), was a runner at Louisiana State University, and his mother, Heather (Van Norman) was an All-American track runner at the same university. She was a very popular field coach at the Nicholls University.

In his senior play, he got up to 50 catches and 19 touchdowns, breaking the school record. Not only was he popular amongst his teammates who found him a true inspiration, but he was also very popular in his school overall. Everybody knew who he was.

He was also exceptional at basketball, where he was chosen for both junior and senior selection in his district. He says basketball was a great way to spend his extra energy, but he never saw himself being a player for life. As an athlete, he exceled in jumping and sprinting, and even won a silver medal in long-jump at his school.

Career development

It was not surprising that scouts were very interested in him, and in the end, he chose Louisiana State University as the one to continue his sports career by getting a free scholarship.

In 2011 he joined the US Army All-American Bowl which is held in San Antonio every year. His mother claims that he was very excited because he thought that he may actually suceed in being a professional one day.

His first college year brought him the title of The Freshman All Southern Conference selection. This gave a push to his upcoming career in sports.

He received his bachelor degree from Louisiana State University in 2014, but decided he will dedicate to sports anyway.

At his senior season, he decided to enter the 2014 NFL Draft, where he was selected by The New York Giants in the first pick and it wasn’t long after that he signed a contract with them.

The rookie season hasn’t started best for him, since he injured himself and missed all preseason, but in October 2014 he had his debut against Atlanta Falcons where he showed off his great talent. He says that the fact that he couldn’t play preseason motivated him to be better later.

He was one of the rare rookies who broke records for consecutive playing with the number over 90 receiving yards in only one season. He was really determined to become famous and well-known.

At the end of the same year he broke almost every team record and an NFL record with the best numbers for touchdowns, receiving yards and catches.

He broke a record from 1985 by scoring 185 receiving yards in season 2014. He also became the first rookie for The New York Giants to make the Pro Bowl game.

It was a very big accomplishment since it was later found out that he had two injuries and still decided to play with them… His doctor wasn’t so happy because recovery he had to get later had to last longer and be more invasive.

In 2015 he was named to be the No.1 Offensive Rookie of the Year.

At the beginning of the first season he earned a suspention due to breaking safety rules on one match.

In 2016, he had an extremely good year, scoring very high and being the Pro Bowl selection for the third time in a row.
